Sid Meier is Canadian.

Wow. Remind me never to look at the comments section when innocently searching out gorgeous music.

Damn flame wars.

All countries have good and bad qualities and do good and bad things.

The End.

You may all go home now.

[kenny678910]

great song. my choir is doing it for our spring festival and i have the pleasure of doing that tenor solo and man... fucking swahili...

[BallStateStories]

Fair enough. I guess I just get iffy when I see stuff like that from members of the subculture that might make the whole look bad. Kind of like how I detest how most fictional gay men in media are flamboyant. As for it being humor... well... I suppose we all have different senses of humor...

[Tzell Serra]

No, its your own prejudice that makes you think that way and label an entire group based on one person's joke. If anyone else made that comment you wouldn't care less. Its called humor.

[BallStateStories]

No... stop it... You're making all furries look like sexual deviants.

[SiIentAzn]

Hey ssolad,

You wanted to be reminded never to look at the comments section when innocently searching out gorgeous music.

:D

The Mongols decides that the world would be a lot better place without all those damn foreigners so they took over almost all of Asia and killing more than 40 million people.

yeah that's not a big deal.

[xXXrayzerXXx]

why did people dislike your comment

[Count Zander]

Too much US history.

[MrAxelotl]

I was just about to ask why the fuck everyone is discussing whether or not there's too much American history in the video when the track is as fucking amazing as it is.
